More reason to limit any re-vote to only those who voted originally. If it's done in one county of one State, it may as well be Nation wide, now that there is FULL knowledge of the very direct impact on the ultimate outcome of the race. True, they knew before and SHOULD vote with the same consistency, but that probability has all but gone the second time around, if allowed a re-vote, in one county of one State. Knowing what they know now in retrospect, I'm sure the Nader vote will go to Nader again, and the Browne vote to Browne again etc. in that one county of one State to determine the "will of the people" for President of the U.S., THIS time; right. Very, very messy.

OT (Election): Mr. Bush has, IMO, just made a disastrous blunder. He now seeks to legally block the manual recounts in key Democrat precincts. Mr. Gore appears to have maneuvered Bush into a corner with his blizzard of legal attacks. Florida law allows election officials or candidates to call for a manual recount, so Bush does not appear to have a legal leg to stand on. Not only will he lose, he's certain to lose credibility because this action undermines his expressed confidence in the officials and process underway in Florida. He had, IMO, a strong position in insisting that the election should be over once the count of all legitimate ballots is completed next week, while Mr. Gore was throwing a tantrum about confusing ballots and talking of revotes. It's true that a manual count is likely to favour the winning candidate in the precincts in question. Well, so be it. Since performing such recounts only in precincts carried by Gore would be unfair, Mr. Bush should have responded by called for his own manual counts in the precincts he won, or if necessary the entire state. I'm expecting another sell-off Monday. The uncertainty just gets worse with each passing day.
